This was my 4th year of Running Racing. My main focus this season was mountain bike racing and I did more cycling training. I’m really happy with my races. I did a total of  km’s running in 2025.

* In total for my career after 4 seasons of racing I have done 14 races (7 Trail & 7 Road)  


2026 Mountain Bike XCO Racing Season Recap


 Alberta Cup XCO

1. Provincials @ Bragg Creek June 20 = 6th place out of 8 in Men aged 35 to 44


This was my 14th year of MTB racing. I was focused on the season with weight training and spinning over the winter. Then when it was time for the races I was battling a back injury and I was feeling fatigue during certain times so I missed lots of races. I came to the conclusion that I am going to be only focusing on the XCO races because I struggled last year in the marathon. I bought a new Yeti and raced on it for provincials and I love it. I did a total of  km’s cycling in 2025.

* In total for my career after 14 season’s of MTB racing I have done 71 races (69 MTB & 2 Road) and I did not include my Tuesday night MTB races.
